Always involved in art, Eric's talent really began to bloom in high school when he won several awards at the district and state level. Though drawn primarily to three dimensional and abstract work, he began to dabble in photography, and experimenting with film added a new element to his work. In college, majoring in architecture, Eric continued to develop his art skills through classes, personal opportunities, study abroads in Italy & Guatemala, and participating in shows and juried expositions. During that time studying under renowned artistsDick Davison, Alan Stacell, and Paolo Barucchieri. After a few years off to pursue family and career, the art world beckoned again in 2004 when he was invited to participate in FotoFest, an international bi-annual photography festival in Houston he has been a part of ever since. Inspired by a visit from his college days to his cousin Michael Linstrom's art studio, Eric picked up the paint brush again to create the series Dance of the Mime leading to a well received first solo exhibit in December 2005.

Since 2005 Eric has been creating and sharing his wide breadth of artistic stylings. His ever growing body of work has expanded to include photography, painting, mixed media, and graphic design. As an invited artist and through juried submissions, Eric's work has been featured in a number of art venues across the U.S. He is currently in the process of compiling a body of three dimensional mixed media paintings for his next solo show Intersections in Versicolor.
